FCK Editor Slow - Please HELP

[erikdb]

Hi all, I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, please correct me if there's a better location.

 

I'm looking for help with the FCK Editor contribution. I installed the contribution and it's working fine, except in the admin section of my shop the FCK Editor interface loads very slowly.

 

The icons of the toolbars appear slowly one after the other.

 

I don't think my hosting provider is to be blamed, because before the contribution everything ran much more smoothly.

 

Is this a known issue and can I do something to improve performance?

 

Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Erik.

Are you using latest fck, have you enabled compression on admin pages, do your descriptions contain large images?

 

Testing on 2 different servers, initial load is under 10secs, subsequent are faster.

I'm using the most recent version of this one:

No images in product description. The admin interface loads slowly even if no product description is present (with a new product).

I need to check about the compression on admin pages.

 

Load time under 10s: does that mean that a load time of for instance 7s should be considered normal?

 

Thanks,

Erik.

Clearly.

Thanks Sam.

 

I've enabled gzip compression, but in all honesty, the effect on FCK isn't shocking.

I guess I just have to get used to the less-than-amazing performance.

 

Rgds,

Erik.

FCK is fast compared to some, & 7secs aint that long to wait, you could always use the time to take a power nap!!

 

Of course in quantum theory time is relative, so that time may be negative, why were you waiting??

Those bags under my eyes will finally be gone thanks to power-naps!
